Lynda Distributing Android Apps Tutorial


Once you've created an Android app, you can distribute
it in multiple ways, but the primary channel is through the
Google Play Store. In this course, updated for 2015, David
Gassner shows you how to publish your app on Google Play and
provides a brief overview of the alternatives offered by
Amazon and other vendors. The process starts with packaging
the app for distribution, sideloading an application
package (APK) file on your own devices for testing, and
implementing some basic protections. Then you'll learn to
publish your app on Google Play, where you'll set pricing
and track app usage. The final chapter contains information
for developers who are also interested in distributing apps
through Amazon

Topics include:

* Packaging an Android app

* Distributing through Google vs. Amazon and other app
stores
